I am writing this in attempts to show my experience with Dimethazine, AKA DMZ, over these last 4 weeks. I have read lots and lots of posts inquiring about PH and Designer Steroids, but never saw any bloodwork associated with them to prove one thing over the other. My goal was to run a 4 week cycle, get bloodwork done, and then report so all others can see. Points of interest for me where 1) Liver values 2) Natural Test levels.
What is DMZ?
(17b-hydroxy-2a, 17b-dimethyl-5a-androstan-3-one-azine)
It is dimethazine, or two methasteron molecules bound with an azine bond. It serves to slow the release and metabolism of the drug (since the body has to break the azine bond first). 30 mg of that is roughly equivalent to 20 mg of Sdrol spread into small doses throughout the day (since the azine bond weighs as much as an Sdrol molecule). - Thanks Bonaparte.
Protocol
I ran 30mg, split twice throughout the day at 15mg each (AM and PM) for four weeks. The things I noticed most, in regards to side effects, were pretty awesome pumps in the gym and a lower libido come around week 2.5 - 3. I enjoy running, and running is absolutely more difficult due to the shin, calf, and lower quad pumps I was getting while running. The lower libido is due to the fact that the DMZ will shut down your natural test levels. I will cover this in the bloodwork later on. Strength went up a bit in all lifts. I put on 8 lbs over the course of 4 weeks.
Bloodwork
I requested a Complete Blood Count, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, and Testosterone, Serum. Bloodwork was done 18 hours after the last DMZ capsule was consumed. I will write down the abnormal ranges, there was no noticeable change to all other values.
Alkaline Phosphatase, S Normal Range is (39-117 IU/L) 30 LOW **Previous BW unavailable
AST (SGOT) Normal Range is (0-40 IU/L) 43 HIGH ** Previous BW was 25
ALT (SGPT) Normal Range is (0-44 IU/L) 33 ** Previous BW was 19
Testosterone, Serum Normal Normal Range is (348-1197 IU/L) 84 LOW **Previous BW was 1102
As you see, the liver related BW (AST, ALT, and Alkaline Phosphatase) is out of whack. I dont understand why the Alkaline is low, instead of high, maybe someone else can take a shot at that. It doesnt help that I dont have baseline numbers, I know. The big thing to notice is that I am shutdown on Test. I went from 1102 to 84, that is a HUGE drop. This explains the loss in libido.
What now?
I am running PCT for 3 weeks (NOLVA 20/20/20, 1800MG NAC/day, and ill throw some creatine in post workout).
After PCT is complete, ill have the same bloodwork done to get some post PCT numbers, and ill update.
In conclusion, yes, PH and Designer Steroids mess with your liver enzyme levels as you can see. They also shutdown your natty test levels.
**I didn't write this to promote useage of these compounds. I did it so I can document the results for myself, and let others know with actual data what these will do to you. I have previous experience with Test E and P, DBOL, and Var. Hope this helps solidify some inquiries.
My ending weight is 225lbs (~15% BF) at 74", 29 years old.
